Will it work in my hangar, barn or warehouse?
Most likely, yes. The vast majority of SwitcheOns are installed in metal buildings and work perfectly right out of the box. About 2% of users require larger antennas. If you have signal issues, contact us and we’ll help you chose a correct antenna.
Is there coverage in my area?
You can check coverage with Verizon on the following website:
Uncheck everything except LTE-M
If you purchase a SwitcheOn and find that coverage is not available, we’ll gladly refund your money. To date, not a single customer has taken us up on this.
What cellular technology does SwitcheOn use? Is it going to stop working?
SwitcheOn uses LTE-M, which was created as part of the recent 5G allocation.
It is expected to be in operation for at least another decade.
Is it available in Canada?

How do I setup my SwitcheOn Power Switch?
- Download the mobile app
- Plug in your Power Switch
- Scan the QR code displayed on the unit
How do I use my SwitcheOn Power Control?
- Open the SwitcheOn Power Control mobile app
- Toggle the switch
I scanned the QR on my new Power Switch and it isn't online yet
- SwitcheOn’s included year of service begins the first time the device is scanned. On first scan, we activate the built-in SIM and provision the service.
- This usually happens in seconds, but can occasionally take up to 15 minutes.
- If after waiting 15 minutes, the device has not provisioned, please un-plug and re-plug the box. This will force it to immediately try connecting again.
- After the intial activation, SwitcheOn should connect within 1 minute after being powered up.
My box goes offline at night
- SwitcheOn depends upon your local Verizon cellular network.
- Cellular signals travel differently at night and in different temperatures and humidity levels.
- If your box operates correctly during the day and not at night, a larger antenna might be necessary.
- Contact us for advice on chosing a proper antenna. There are plenty of inexpensive options available and we’re here to help.

I bought the marconi 2 channel for my webasto car heater. It’s replacing my old genuine webasto thermocall TC3 that went obsolete here when gsm g2 network went offline. It’s been working like a charm and it’s very inexpensive.

UNBELIEVABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I have used the Switcheon to control my pre-heat system for my airplane for the past 2.5 years since there is no wifi or internet at my hangar. I recently had some electrical issues (non Switcheon related) that caused my Switcheon unit to stop working. I contacted Jake & Sean and they told me that my unit was guaranteed as long as it was in service & they immediately sent me a free replacement. Lo and behold, my hangar electricity caused a second Switcheon to go buns-up immediately. Finally the spiking issue was resolved & Jake at Swicheon sent me ANOTHER Switcheon unit free of charge (and offered to credit me the return freight on the other two). Third box works perfectly. I can’t begin to tell you how excellent the customer service has been. They honored their lifetime warranty without question & did so cheerfully. By the way, my Swicheon controls my Tanis Heater, two battery minders and a cockpit heater with no issues. This product does exactly what it is advertised to do. Easy to install, easy to use, App is very straightforward to use. BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I have worked in IT nearly 30 years. Rarely do I see a product that is elegantly so simple and perfect. I was unfamiliar with the brand, but I will be back for more. Bravo to whoever designed this.
Rob B. –
I purchased this because I had ongoing problems with a competitor’s product. I use this for my aircraft’s engine pre-heater. The Switcheon is very easy to set up – the QR code is a great idea. My hangar is in an area with questionable cell phone service (I use Verizon and the reception is generally 1-2 bars). I’ve had the Switcheon for about two weeks and it’s been very reliable. The ambient temperature sensor is a very nice feature and updates constantly. The service fee (annual, after the first year) is much less than the competitor’s unit. Highly recommended.
Keith Klos –
I bought this to preheat my Wittman Tailwind. Originally thought about trying to design and build my own unit but soon realized that this unit is way better. No creating an additional phone # or buying a sim card or managing a cellular connection. Works well inside my metal hangar. Tells me the temp and I can program it to turn on or off by time/date/ temperature. No wifi but if I need that while in the hangar, I just use my phone hotspot. Great product, great people to work with.
Kevin Johnson –
I purchased my Switcheon Power Control to preheat my Aeronca Champ. I have individual cylinder heaters and also an oil tank heater. This unit works flawlessly. I installed it inside my metal hanger without an outside antenna and can turn it on and off without any issues. It tells me when it’s on. It also lets me know the outside temp. I simply turn it on via the App which tells me it’s on a couple hours before I go to the hanger and I have a warm engine when I arrive. This thing is awesome. And reasonably priced. Plus you don’t need WiFi. Perfect!!!!
Tom Hale –
Finally a well- built reliable remote switch. Going to the airport in the cold weather to set the timer for the preheat is the thing of the past. It is very easy to program and has great support. The first year of service comes with it so the price is very reasonable.

We bought this to run independent heaters on our club airplanes. We were hangared in a drafty log hangar and have been able to rely on the switch-e-on for dependable pre-heating. We also worked with the developers to request additional features on their programmatic API. They were extremely helpful and receptive, and as a result, we have automated preheating so it watches our reservation calendar and kicks on the pre-heating devices prior to each reservation. We’re so grateful for the switch-e-on and the support they’ve provided!
J. Duncan –
This product is a great tool for anyone looking to restart internet routers and modems remotely (office, primary home, second home, etc.). 9 times out of 10 a restart of your modem or router will bring your internet back online, and SwitcheOn works where most IP restart switches will fail.
No more calling our neighbors for help restoring internet connectivity!
Tom S. (verified owner) –
This thing just works. Had it for a couple years now and it’s by far the most elegant solution for preheating your aircraft. Mine is installed in an all metal hangar where the cell signal is poor on the OUTSIDE, and it’s been 100% reliable.
Dave –
It works great! We’ve had it for two winter sessions. it controls our 182 engine heater. With the app we can also see the temperature in the hanger. Had a problem with the first one we got. Sean was great about what the issue was and got us a replacement promptly. Looking at getting another for a different application.
Kelly (verified owner) –
This is one of the best products for the hangar in aviation! While the airport has WiFi, it’s too far from the general aviation hangars for a WiFi switch to pick up. This switch operates on cellular and so long as there is a cellular signal, it works. Now I can turn on my engine pre-heat before getting to the airport (or even my cabin preheat) and the plane’s motor and/or cabin can be warm and ready for service. 10 out of 10! On a side note, I exceeded the 1800w capacity and burnt one of the fuses in the unit, after an email, my unit was repaired and sent back to me… EXCELLENT customer service! A new feature in the app allows for a timer to countdown and turn off – innovation at its best!

As noted above, this is a great product and I would not hesitate to buy again. The technical support is top notice also!
Craig Young (verified owner) –
Fantastic product and even better customer service! Cannot recommend enough! If you need remote control of power in out of the way locations, stop looking and buy this!
Jim M (verified owner) –
This is what we have been waiting for in the cold weather areas. Wow, wow and wow. Easily set up and very affordable. Get one before they are terminally back ordered!
admin –
I hope we don’t end up terminally back-ordered!
Jim W. (verified owner) –
This is the remote switch we’ve been waiting for! No more trips to the airport the day before you plan to fly in order to plug in the timer. Great product and great support.
Gordon VS (verified owner) –
This is just a great idea that was much needed to make it easier to fly in cold weather. Just unboxed it and it works flawlessly. Can’t wait to set it up. Had some questions for support that Sean quickly answered on a Saturday.
David H (verified owner) –
I had a tech problem-Sean was GREAT in helping me. I’ll reinterate exactly what Chuck said!
Chuck Henze (verified owner) –
Rare customer service in this day and age. Supplier problems caused a shipping delay. They kept me up to date every step of the way. This is very easy to set up and use. It’s what you’ve been waiting for. Buy it!
